i can give 2 minutes
at 11 o’clock–
the first minute silent
to remember 20 million dead
the second minute quiet
to respect the pain of the living
that mourned them
my sacrifice small
in comparison
one wreath
for so many graves
but i will add it
Susan Daniels Poetry 
Very respectful and well written Susan
Thank you, Bruce.
Quiet to remember
then courage
afterwards to leash the beast,
forever
Noel, that is beautiful. Yes–let us leash it!
***Head swells at the praise!
I am certain somehow beasts like this one will be chained and banished to a pit someday. Oops–is my Baptist showing?
Beautifully done!
Thank you, Mama!
This is so well done
Oh, thank you, Boomie.
Hi Susan, A poignant reminder.
Odd place to make this request, but I wondered what you thought of THIS IDEA.
I think it would be good, but I’m not sure how to promote the idea without pushy posts like this one!
First, thank for liking my post, you rock. Second, I think this is a great idea, and I would volunteer for about an hour out of my day for this–a good idea deserves that. Haven’t got a clue how to promote this without reblogging, so definitely let me know if you find anything else out that might be a better idea.
A reblog – or just a mention+link would be great. I’ve visited ‘persons most likely’ too – but it’s up to you. My stupid idea so I shall do the leg-work 🙂
Thanks for the support
Susan this is wonderful.. somber and sincere
Thank you, Audra!
A salute to bravery !
Thank you!
Simple words and yet so poignantly conveyed.
Thanks, Celestine.

Thank you, Jane.
The remembrance matters most, however small.
Thanks, Nelle. I agree. I hope we never forget.
